Written by one of the world's leading experts in the field of
nuclear medicine dosimetry, this text describes in detail the use
of internal dose calculations in the practice of nuclear medicine.
While radiation therapy with external sources of radiation always
employs calculations of dose to optimize therapy for each patient,
this is not routinely conducted in nuclear medicine therapy. As the
trend towards an increasing role of dosimetry in therapy planning
increases, this book reviews the available methods and technologies
available to make this a more common practice. The book begins by
covering the mathematical fundamentals of internal dose
calculations, and uses sample calculations to demonstrate key
principles. The book then moves forward to describe anthropomorphic
models, dosimetric models, and types and uses of diagnostic and
therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. The depth of coverage makes it
useful reference and guide for researchers performing dose
calculations and for physicians considering incorporating dose
calculations into the treatment of their cancer patients.
